> Iran says an agreement with Oman to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is nearing final approval. Reports indicate that Tehran would control inbound traffic under the proposed arrangement, while Iran says the two sides have reached an understanding on coordinates for the shipping route. Separately, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and Legal Agenda said an Israeli strike in April that killed Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil and wounded her colleague Zeinab Faraj was a war crime. The groups said the attack appeared deliberate and called for an investigation.
